Phoenix to Fargo

What the Data Says About PHX to FAR

The Phoenix to Fargo corridor (PHX → FAR) covers roughly 1,225 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 501 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85% on-time rate with an average delay of 88.3 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 501 flights were recorded on this pairing — 26 cancelled (5.2%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 6 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 501 total flights analyzed, the 85% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 88.3-minute average delay applies only to flights that actually ran late, so it is not the average wait across all departures — the majority of flights on this route depart on time under the BTS definition of a delay (15+ minutes past schedule).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the PHX to FAR route, the combination of a 85% on-time rate, 88.3-minute average delay, 5.2% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
